** Her being Asari meant that she wasn't paralysed with Vega's squad, so she could interface with the Prothean beacon and setup the SadisticChoice. If she were human she would have been put in a pod with the others, not get the data, and thus mean that Vega wouldn't have anything to angst over, he'd be a hero who saved as many colonists as possible.

*** Shepard dies one month after the first game, with Liara jumping to recovering their body and setting herself up against the Shadow Broker, which she says occupied most of her time between the first two games. To say that's enough time to get her to a point where the character from ''VideoGame/MassEffect1'', who was shy, reclusive, and uncomfortable around others, to where she is in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'', seems at the least a stretch, at the most generous.

Liara mentoring Treeya could be the same as a senior student mentoring a first year.

** Given that Liara had a direct hand in saving the Citadel, she probably had a ton of accolades and honorary titles under her belt by that point. It doesn't seem like a big stretch that she'd wield enough influence in the field to garner a couple of understudies or apprentices. Or Liara could have been more of an inspiration/ guiding voice in Treeya becoming an archaeologist, we don't actually know the degree to which they served together.

* Treeya says that Liara was her mentor. Liara, who in the first game says that in asari terms, her age of 106 made her considered as barely more than a child, given that asari live to be at least a thousand. While asari are later said to reach physical maturity in their forties or so, and Treeya's age is never given, leaving the possibility for Treeya to be younger than Liara, the fact that we later see in ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' research notes of Liara's dated only a few years before the first game that indicate that she was probably not long out of university at the time of the first game - when would she have the time to serve as a mentor?

** Not all asari are good at biotics- it's mentioned in several places that asari with underdeveloped eezo nodes or limited training aren't as good as those who do have properly developed eezo nodes and training.
